Vaperina's future - The beginning of a new era

Hi!

Basically, I was thinking of the train of thought regarding human manifestation (it won’t succeed anyway, what’s the point, they’ll make this impossible too, etc.). There are many pessimistic people, and I deliberately didn’t use this word.

I didn’t come to stir up debate, and I hope it won’t be, just like it wasn’t back then (those who remember know).

Thank you :blush:

I am optimistic, if I am the only one who vapes, then I’ll take it on :joy:

I don’t want to argue either, but to have a sensible conversation with anyone who vapes because they ‘switched over’ and don’t see it as a big business.

The others know, I’m interested in that kind of thing :grin:

Hello everyone! :waving_hand:
Behind the scenes, we are continuously working to make Vaperina content available to as many people as possible, and now we have taken a big step towards this: automatic AI translation has launched! :speech_balloon: :sparkles:


Current Status

Initially, the AI only translates to English and Hungarian, and for now, it is processing posts from the last ~60 days.
This is because the full translation of nearly 400,000 posts, even using the cheapest LLM (large language model) currently available that correctly recognizes the language and provides higher quality translation, would represent a huge cost for us.

So far, more than 10,000 posts have received AI translation, and this number is constantly growing! :rocket:
This also includes the immediate translation of new posts.

\u003e :information_source: In the future, if our budget allows, we will extend the translation to older posts and gradually to more languages.


What else happened?

:globe_with_meridians: Automatic Location

To ensure everyone can encounter Vaperina in their own language, the site now automatically detects the visitor’s location and adjusts the interface accordingly.
The content language will change if a translation is available in that language.


:world_map: Simple Language Selector

A language selection option is now available in the header.
Only languages for which a translation is actually available (e.g., posts, topics, etc.) will appear here.
This allows you to easily switch to your desired language.


:globe_showing_europe_africa: Manual Translation

The manual translator is accessible via the globe icon :globe_with_meridians: found next to individual posts.
This allows you to immediately request a translation for a specific post if it is missing.

You can see which languages it has been translated into, edit the translation if you find an error, or even add a new one.
This is currently available to everyone, but in the future, we may link it to certain trust levels.


:counterclockwise_arrows_button: Toggling Translation On and Off

The content translation can be turned off or on using the button on the timeline.

:writing_hand: Selecting Content Language

When writing a post, you can now specify the original language of the content.
This helps the AI know more accurately which language it needs to translate from.


:input_latin_letters: Viewing Original Language

If a post has already been translated, you can now easily see which language the translation originated from.


:globe_showing_europe_africa: Country Selector

Many of you have already set it, but soon we will make specifying the country in your profile mandatory for everyone.
This helps in filtering topics by country, and it will also appear on posts, making the site more transparent. :dizzy:
If you haven’t done so yet, you can set it here.


:puzzle_piece: Known Bugs and Shortcomings

As with any new system, there are still bugs here that we are continuously fixing:

  1. Displaying previews for images, videos, and links :white_check_mark:
  2. Translation of tags
  3. Translation of the latest comment on the topic list page
  4. SEO support for translated content :white_check_mark:

:heart: Thank You!

Thank you for sticking with us! :folded_hands:
Our goal is for Vaperina to become a multilingual Community where everyone feels at home in their own language. :vaperina: :hugs:

\u003e :folded_hands: We cannot emphasize enough how important your support is.
\u003e
\u003e If you can, please support Vaperina’s continued operation and the survival of the Community; it is truly needed. :heart:
\u003e
\u003e Become a Vaperina Supporter! :vaperina:

I have set my localization to the USA for now… so that there is content there too, if this way Google increases their priority in that environment.

Hi Zsolt :waving_hand:

Thank you :+1:

I managed to omit SEO (Search Engine Optimization) from the list of known errors and shortcomings. This is still incomplete…

However, the set country does not affect how the page appears in Google search. The country selector is merely a visual tool for filtering content within the site; search engines and bots do not detect this.

Every translated topic will automatically include links pointing to the translations, so search engines (such as Google) can index these as well. This means that the set country will not be a priority, because all content will be available in all available languages, and Google will map and display these translations too.

Hello everyone :waving_hand:

Starting today, we are allowing search engine bots to index the translated content found on Vaperina.

This means that translated topics and posts may soon appear in search engines, allowing them to reach people living anywhere in the world and contribute to the globalization process. :vaperina: :globe_showing_europe_africa:
